What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

What are FAST-Infra Label and Online Application Portal?

The FAST-Infra Label is a credible, consistent, and globally applicable labelling system designed to identify and evaluate sustainable infrastructure projects. The overarching objective of the Label is to support infrastructure and create a liquid asset class of sustainable infrastructure. The FAST-Infra Label’s comprehensive framework is based on four dimensions of sustainability (environmental, social, governance, and resilience), bringing together existing standards, frameworks and taxonomies. Application of the FAST-Infra label enables comparability of metrics across sustainable infrastructure assets. It informs developers of best practices and streamlines their ability to get an initial review before getting their sustainable infrastructure project financed. The Label has released Dimensions, Criteria and Indicators with cross-sectoral applicability.

‍

The Label and its online Application Portal are initiatives of the FAST-Infra Group, an association that brings together state and public institutions, private industrial and financial players, multilateral institutions and civil society organisations, all committed to the deployment of sustainable infrastructure worldwide. For more information on its mission and members, visit the FAST-Infra Group website.

‍

What is the training programme about?

Armed with extensive experience developing sustainability standards for the infrastructure sector, GIB – as the Secretariat of the FAST-Infra Label – is offering a comprehensive two-day training programme (~8 hours) to train professionals on how the FAST-Infra Label works, how to assess whether projects are sustainable using the Label’s framework, how to improve sustainability in your projects, or use it to identify sustainable projects to invest in. Participants will also learn about the benefits of the Label, including improved project sustainability, risk mitigation, and enhanced brand reputation.

‍

Once you successfully complete this training, you will receive a certificate to designate you as a FAST-Infra Professional in Sustainable Infrastructure, equipping you to support projects in self-assessing against the FAST-Infra Label, to advise them on how to better address sustainability throughout the project’s lifecycle, improve the project’s risk profile, and comply with the Label’s criteria – as well as help fund managers and investors identify credible sustainable assets, support projects’ due diligence processes and help making informed decisions about investments in infrastructure.

‍
